Oh good
ah, 5-minute crafts. i can almost guarantee you that most of these won’t even work
This youtuber does debunking videos and I recognise some of those from her videos
I love Ann Reardon when she shits all over these fake how-to videos.
Yeah she’s great! Her videos were actually featured on a BBC segment on twitter about how dangerous some of these life hacks can be to attempt
So the debunking video above led me to watch another debunking video, which started down a very intriguing wormhole of asking why people are producing fake how-to videos like this, and the short version is they’re exploiting algorithms to generate ad revenue and the long version is they’re produced by a Russian content farm that has made some forays into American political ads.
Which is abruptly sobering and worth watching.
She seriously doesn’t deserve the treatment youtube’s been giving her, so please support her as much as you can and make sure this shitty farming channel goes down in flames.
It promotes EXTREMELY DANGEROUS activities such as PUTTING STRAWBERRIES INTO A GLASS OF BLEACH TO TURN THEM WHITE WHICH IS POISONOUS. AND POURING LAVA HOT CARAMEL ONTO A SPINNING WHISK, WHICH WOULD EASILY BURN YOU AND LEAVE A SCAR.
It’s amazing how youtube still tolerates this kind of behavior just because it’s pumping out videos 24/7 and sucking up all of the views. It’s unacceptable and it needs to be stopped as soon as possible.
Channels like 5 minute crafts and a few others are some of the largest youtube channels on the platform because they’re all from content farms. Commentary youtubers like Danny Gonzales, Drew Gooden, Jarvis Johnson and Cody Ko have been going down the rabbit hole of this for ages
Transgender Christians who were baptized under a name that isn’t truly theirs now have a chance for a second baptism.
At the New Chapel Unitarian and Free Christian in Manchester, England, officials have agreed to baptize trans people living as their true selves.
Jean Clements, the church’s worship leader, proposed the change after meeting a couple who had a transgender child.
The church was moved to make a change in order to help those in the same situation.
Mrs Clements said: “I felt saddened by the fact that this family were being shunned by many mainstream churches.
“However, when the family came to New Chapel, the congregation welcomed them with open arms. ”
That’s love right there.
This is the kind of thing churches SHOULD be doing <3
My tour of sadness through Megacon.
I CANT BELIEVE IM LOOKING AT A COSPLAY OF THAT ONE BIRD GIF
IT’S NOT JUST A BIRD GIF IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT BIRD OF PARADISE CALLED THE SUPERB BIRD OF PARADISE, IT IS FAMOUS BECAUSE OF BBC’S PLANET EARTH HOSTED BY DAVID ATTENBOROUGH OKAY
JESUS
IT STARTS THE DANCE AT 2:05
THE COSPLAYER DOES A SPLENDID JOB OF PERFORMING THE MATING DANCE AS SCRIPTED AND I THINK THAT’S VERY IMPORTANT
HERE IS WIKIPEDIA’S FRANKLY SPECTACULAR JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DANCE
The species has an unusually low population of females, and competition amongst males for mates is intensely fierce. This has led the species to have one of the most bizarre and elaborate courtship displays in the avian world. After carefully and meticulously preparing a “dance floor” (even scrubbing the dirt or branch smooth with leaves), the male first attracts a female with a loud call. After the curious female approaches, his folded black feather cape and blue-green breast shield springs upward and spreads widely and symmetrically around its head, instantly transforming the frontal view of the bird into a spectacular ellipse-shaped creature that rhythmically snaps its tail feathers against each other, similar to how snapping fingers work, whilst hopping in frantic circles around the female. The average female rejects 15-20 potential suitors before consenting to mate.
THIS COSPLAYER HAS TRULY CAPTURED THE SPIRIT OF THE BIRD AND ITS DANCE AT EVERY LEVEL
is anything in 2016 even real any more?
HOLY SHIT
Thanks BBC for keeping it cool.
